NEURAL STEM/PROGENITOR CELLS IN THE POST-ISCHEMIC ENVIRONMENT: Proliferation, Differentiation and Neuroprotection
(2007-06-04)
Stroke is one of the leading causes of chronic disability and death in the Western world. Today, no treatment can repair the cellular loss associated with an ischemic lesion. However, the discovery and dynamic regulation ...
The effect of astrocytes and reactive gliosis on neurogenesis and astrogenesis in mice
(2008-11-10)
Astrocytes are the most common cell type in mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin constitute intermediate filaments (known also as nanofilaments), a part of the ...
Regional differences in the response of neural stem cells and their microenvironment to ionizing radiation
(2009-05-14)
Radiation therapy is one of the most effective tools for treating malignant tumors; however, cranial irradiation often results in intellectual impairment and cognitive deficits, such as impaired learning and memory. Ionizing ...
Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide in the brain
(2009-06-30)
The hippocampus is an area of active cell proliferation and neurogenesis within the adult
mammalian brain. Adult neurogenesis is of great importance for the brain, since it increases
neuroplasticity and the ability to ...
Regulation of postnatal neurogenesis and brain angiogenesis by thyroid hormone
(2009-12-07)
Thyroid hormone (TH), which is secreted by the thyroid gland, exerts significant
effects on the central nervous system (CNS), especially during development, so
that delayed treatment of perinatal hypothyroidism results ...
